Are you a bit of a thrill-seeker, looking for fun things to do in Budapest? The Budapest Eye is a large ferris wheel which will grant you great views of the city!

Budapest possesses a lot of history. While it’s important to see all of the beautiful things this city has to offer, we must also acknowledge its past. This memorial pays homage to the Jewish men, women and children who were murdered during the second world war. It’s a haunting sight, but one we must pay attention and respect to.
